Best Winter Olympic sport for me?

Nordic combined is like cross-country right? I will check into it.

Nordic Skiing includes Cross Country Skiing, Ski Jumping, and Biathlon.

The Nordic Combined is a combination of Cross Country Skiing and Ski Jumping.

They start off with the jump, then "the people who jump good" are given a head start over "the people who jump bad" when they do the cross country part.

In Nordic Combined, you start off with Ski Jumping. Then they do a Cross Country Ski race where people's start time is determined by how well they jumped.

Oh ok. Well, I will have to try that.

Hey, why did God create sand? To use for man's purposes. In this case, my purpose is to train skiing on it.

But, you see. . . . Oh, nevermind. I tried to help and got nothing but abuse.

Yup, yup.
And yup, nordic skiing is cross-country, as opposed to alpine skiing, which is downhill .

There's Nordic and there's yoyo.

What? What do you mean? I thought it was pretty good with the iambic pentameter lol.

Yeah. I think i could do that. I would need alot of practice though.
And i figured that is where you live because of your picture. Pumas.

whats yoyo? another new olympic sport lol?

It's a child's toy. You know, like Duncan yoyos. A spinning disc with a string around the axle. Outside of a few tricks, it basically goes up and down like a downhill skier. They go down, they take the lift back up, and then they ski down the hill again. Yoyo is opposite of Nordic or cross country skiing.

Glad you're okay with the pentameter. I thought it sounded kind of like something they might do in the Olympics.

I know what yoyo is. I was just picking with you.

I got what you mean now. And yeah, I am still laughing at the iambic pentameter sport lol.

For ski jumping don't you have to have long legs?

What do you think is better, ski jumping or the nordic combined?

I think so, to some extent.

You'll likely get much better advice from an actual coach for Olympic athletes. They will be experienced in pointing people in the right direction. I'm giving the best advice that I can, but I don't know nearly as much as a coach would know.

Anyway, I believe that in Nordic Combined, the best athletes are "in between" what would be the best shape and size for one of the individual disciplines by itself. They are not as aerodynamic as a pure Ski Jumper, but are more aerodynamic than a pure Cross Country Skier.

Ok. So if I didnt want to do ski jumping, which means I cant do the nordic, then would I do cross-country skiing? Because there arent any ski jumping training places or clubs around where I live.

You could do that, or biathlon. Biathlon takes the endurance of cross country, and adds to it the need to be very steady while your heart is pounding.

Your point about location of training facilities has me again thinking you would be best served seeking out a real coach (who would likely know what is in your area, and what in your area would be the best fit for you).

Aight. I will look for a coach. And I will ask around. I live on the virginia/n. carolina border line, so we are quite a few hours from any ski club.
